Hyco LIFE6L 6L Polished Chrome 3-in-1 Boiling Water Tap

The Hyco LIFE6L Zen Life is a 3-in-1 boiling water tap that dispenses near-boiling water alongside a conventional hot and cold mixer, so a separate kettle is not needed for everyday kitchen tasks.

It suits domestic and commercial kitchens, whether a new install or a retrofit into a standard sink hole. The boiling side is fed from a 6 litre undersink tank; the mixer uses the existing mains hot and cold supplies.

The tap is polished chrome with a cool-touch insulated spout. The tank is grade 316L stainless steel with aerogel insulation and an Incoloy element, and the unit is designed and assembled in the UK.
